Are Margin Rates and deducted from earnings for tax purposes?


Are margin rates subtracted off earnings for tax purposes when you get your 1099? As an example, let’s say I use IKBR and make $100 in dividends for the year on a portfolio that 75% equity and 25% leverage (margin). Are those margin costs accounted for in earnings somewhere to lower the taxable income amount? Appreciate the information.
